After signing with Century Media, Swallow The Sun has announced the band's upcoming release will be a triple album entitled "Songs From The North I, II & III."
The Finnish sextet’s last album, "Emerald Forest And The Blackbird" (reviewed here), was released in winter 2012; come November 2015, the long wait between recordings will finally be over.
Main songwriter and guitarist Juha Raivio comments on the triple album concept: “Making a triple album in this godforsaken digital and modern day and age...Many will say it's madness. I say it is to bring worth, heart and respect back into the music and to the album format where it belongs. This should never turn into a shallow fast food industry where music is only downloaded one song at a time.
"These albums hold life, death, gloom, beauty and despair in their deepest levels and forms. The three chapters are different but connected, one long journey through these songs written up here in the North. Music is holy, albums are holy. See you on the other side, friends.”
Stay tuned for more news about "Songs From The North I, II & III" coming soon.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a new album. How they managed to negotiate a triple album label debut with Century, I can only imagine.
I like that the first disc will be classic StS, the second will be an all acoustic piece and the final disc a funeral doom closer.
This is one hell of a defining statement.
